Stars come out on ‘Night to Shine’

Stars come out on ‘Night to Shine’

The red carpet was unfurled for over 100 special guests at the 4th annual Night to Shine held Friday, Feb. 13, at the First Baptist Church (MAC Building) in Blackshear.

The unforgettable worldwide celebration event centers on God’s love and honors and values people with special needs.

Guests enjoyed a red carpet entrance, paparazzi, hair and makeup stations, shoeshines, party bus rides, karaoke, dancing, gifts, a catered dinner, a sensory room and a respite room (for parents and caregivers) and a crowning ceremony for kings and queens.

First Baptist Church and Destination Church, both of Blackshear, and Zion Hill Free Will Baptist Church in Ware County hosted the event. Night to Shine is sponsored by The Tim Tebow Foundation. Tebow is a former stand-out quarterback for the Florida Gators.
